Protecting and preserving our Mother Nature is more important now than ever. With the serious climate change happening around the world, it is imperative that every individual takes a step forward to make a change.
We do not only embark on initiatives towards cleaning and preserving our environment, but also call upon others to do the same through various awareness programmes. We are fully committed to building a safe, conducive and more sustainable tomorrow for our future generations.
Following our pilot project with Sekolah Kebangsaan RTB Bukit Changgang, Yayasan Hartalega continues our efforts to support sustainable farming and environmental education at SK Desa Jasmin - the second school to receive a fully equipped aquaponics system, integrating innovation with nature to promote sustainable agriculture.
It's inspiring to see the students’ enthusiasm - watching them plant the seeds from the start, harvest fresh vegetables, and pack them for distribution among their peers. This initiative not only educates the younger generation on sustainable farming and food security but also nurtures problem-solving skills and fosters teamwork.
We are truly motivated by the passion and positive spirit of the students and will continue to do our part in shaping a generation that cares for the sustainable future.
As part of our commitment towards a greener future, we are excited to reflect on our contribution of a full aquaponics system to Sekolah Kebangsaan RTB Bukit Changgang in Banting, Malaysia ─ blending innovation with nature to promote sustainable agriculture.
By investing in green farming, we hope to:
🌱 Educate students on sustainable farming practices and environmental conservation.
🌱 Enhance problem-solving and teamwork skills as students manage and monitor the aquaponics system.
🌱 Promote food security through self-sustaining systems that grow fresh produce.
Environmental sustainability is vital to support the health of the planet and livelihoods of communities. By nurturing a generation that understands the value of sustainable practices, we plant the seeds for a brighter future!
During our CSR Conservation Programme, 60 Team Hartanians joined hands for a meaningful river cleanup and mangrove restoration initiative at the Firefly Jetty Kampung Kuantan in Kuala Selangor.
Our amazing volunteers successfully collected a total of 328kg of garbage! In addition, they also planted 216 mangrove seeds to strengthen our coastal resilience and promote biodiversity.
We are proud of our Team Hartanians dedication in working together towards a cleaner, greener future for everyone. Every effort, no matter how small, contributes to protecting and preserving our planet. Let's continue to make a positive impact!.
70 of our Team Hartanians volunteered for our special 'Let's Meet Gajah' programme − embarking on an inspiring journey at the National Elephant Conservation Centre in Kuala Gandah, Pahang. With sleeves rolled up, we dived into a day of assisting the caretakers, cleaning the conservation centre and elephant enclosure, as well as preparing food and feeding the majestic animals.
We’re incredibly grateful for this learning experience that opened our eyes to the intricate lives of these animals and the vital role the conservation centre plays in protecting these gentle giants in Malaysia. Hartalega will continue to remain steadfast in our dedication to environmental conservation and we hope that the immense efforts of the National Elephant Conservation Centre will continue to provide a safe and nurturing environment for these incredible animals.
Our Hartanians soared into action for a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative at Zoo Negara Malaysia. A team of 30 dedicated Hartanians joined forces with Wildhaven Zoo members − a group of students from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia who are passionate about animal welfare − to assist the zookeepers in providing top-notch care for the animals. From meticulous enclosure cleaning to husbandry, animal behavioural enriching activities to food preparation, the volunteers played a vital role throughout the day in supporting animal well-being. Aside from that, Hartalega also installed 50 benches around Zoo Negara's surroundings, for the convenience of visitors.
At Hartalega, we want to continuously carry out our commitment to help protect and preserve mother nature. It is imperative that every individual takes a step forward to make a change and we are fully committed to building a safe, conducive, and more sustainable tomorrow for our future generations.
Hartalega and Inspirasi Kawa teamed up to plant 100 mangrove saplings at the Paya Bakau Recreation Park Sijangkang in Selangor. A total of 70 dedicated Hartanians volunteered to plant the trees as part of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme.
During the activity, we discovered that it wasn’t just about planting trees, it's about caring for the environment! Mangroves are important for our country's ecosystem − helping to protect our coastlines and provide habitats for many animals. And each tree planted represents a step towards a more sustainable future.
Protecting and preserving Mother Nature is more important now than ever and we are delighted to be a part of this meaningful act of conservation. Together, we can contribute to building a safer and more sustainable planet for future generations!
We teamed up to become ‘river warriors’ − cleaning up the river downstream at the Firefly Jetty Kampung Kuantan, Kuala Selangor to ensure its pristine state.
A total of 40 committed Hartanians volunteered in the impactful river cleanup programme, which resulted in the removal of 200kg of debris! In addition, our colleagues also engaged in other environment nurturing activities which included watering the nurseries and learning the essential care techniques of Berembang and Palm Trees — integral habitats for fireflies.
Environmental sustainability is vital to support the health of the planet and livelihoods of communities, while subsequently ensuring that the world’s precious natural resources are preserved for future generations. This programme underscores our commitment not only to environmental preservation but also to creating a sustainable haven for the captivating fireflies that rely on these trees for their habitat.
To enhance environmental literacy among local youth in the communities near our operations, such as Kuala Selangor, Ijok and Bestari Jaya, Yayasan Hartalega continued to collaborate with social enterprise Inspirasi KAWA for the third consecutive year, encouraging youth participation in biodiversity conservation efforts. This year, our focus was on monitoring water quality in Bestari Jaya, adopting the Place-Based Citizen Science (PBCS) approach.
Through this, we aim to design a PBCS programme based on the Eco-Heart Index as a citizen science tool to maintain water quality levels, where communities including youth will be able to participate in field collection of water quality monitoring data. Moving forward, the project will include water preservation and conservation programme
